Come see for yourself!

Universal cookie dough

To create several different variations of cookies, we need to create a basic dough.

INGREDIENTS:

• 500 g plain flour
• 500 g of softened butter
• 250 g of powdered sugar
• 1 bag of vanilla sugar
• 5 egg yolks
• pinch of salt

METHOD:

1. First, mix the loose ingredients.
2. Then add butter and egg yolks and make a smooth dough.
3. Let rest in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.

At this point we have dough to create a lot of stuff with. We can roll out a third of the dough in this form, cut out favorite shapes and bake for 5-10 minutes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper in an oven heated to 170 °C.

After it has cooled, we can decorate it with egg white glaze or melted chocolate.

Cinnamon hearts with chocolate

The cinnamon flavor is always warming!

INGREDIENTS:

• a third of the created universal dough
• a pinch of cinnamon
• chocolate for cooking

METHOD:

1. Mix a pinch of cinnamon into the already formed dough.
2. Roll the dough into a thin sheet and cut out hearts.
3. Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C.
4. We watch and as soon as they start to turn golden (after about 5-10 minutes), we take them out and let them cool.
5. If we have a big sweet tooth, we can warm up the cooking chocolate in a water bath and dip the hearts into it.
6. We can then use egg white icing for minor decoration.

Hazelnut glued cookies from one dough

If you have a handful of walnuts, nothing could be easier!

INGREDIENTS:

• a third of the base dough
• a cup of walnuts
• walnut halves for decoration
• chocolate for cooking

METHOD:

1. Grind the walnuts and add them to the basic dough.
2. We choose the shape of the cutter and use it to cut out the rolled sheet.
3. Place on a tray with baking paper and bake in an oven heated to 180 °C for about 5-8 minutes.
4. After cooling, cover with marmalade
5. Let it rest and in the meantime melt the chocolate in a hot bath.
6. We either dip whole pieces of candy into it, or we can dip them only in half or sprinkle them with chocolate.
7. We can press half a walnut into the still wet icing for decoration.

You can also prepare this option with homemade marmalade.

Universal cream for Christmas cookies

Preparing the cream for each cookie separately is a nuisance, don’t you see? So how about making it easier with a universal recipe?

INGREDIENTS:

• 500 g of butter
• 250 g granulated sugar
• 1 vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs

METHOD:

1. First, beat the eggs with the sugar until stiff.
2. Add the softened butter and combine everything with a mixer.
3. We can put the cream in the fridge.

How to flavor this cream?

We can create a cream from a universal cream:

• rum – just mix in 4 tablespoons of classic brown rum
• cocoa – stir in 1 tablespoon of Dutch cocoa
• almond – add finely ground 50 g of almonds + we can add almond aroma
• coffee – we prepare a small espresso from 4 teaspoons of instant coffee, which we mix into the cream after it has cooled down
• nutty – grind a handful of nuts and add them to the created cream

We can then use the creams as a filling for tubes and cones or, for example, for wasps’ nests. You can also use the solid cream for gluing.

One-dough candy is really simple, delicious, and most importantly, quick to make!

So what? Don’t you also think that Christmas is just a time of stress?
